Plot Summary

Recently widowed Dr. Nate Samuels and his daughters, Meredith and Norah, arrive at the Mopani Reserve in South Africa for a vacation. Nate reunites with his old friend, Martin Battles, a biologist and Mopani manager, who introduced Nate and his wife. Martin takes Nate and the girls to the village where Nate’s wife grew up. Nate confides in Martin his guilt over being distant following his and his wife’s separation, after which she developed terminal cancer. The trip is to reconnect with his daughters. The next day, Martin and the family tour the reserve’s restricted areas.

Martin shows the trio a local lion pride that he helped raise, and notices that one of them is injured. At a nearby Tsonga community, Martin discovers that most of the population has been killed. Suspecting that a rogue lion is responsible, Martin rushes back to report the finding. Nate encounters an injured Tsonga man on the road, but is unable to save him. Martin is attacked by the rogue male lion; it then ambushes Nate, who takes cover in the car. Meredith speeds away but crashes into a tree, stranding them. Martin radios Nate on a walkie-talkie, warning him to stay away, as the lion may be using Martin as bait to lure the others out.

As the radio is out of range to contact help, Nate assembles a tranquilizer rifle, hoping to subdue the lion long enough to recover Martin and trek back to civilization. The lion attacks, and Meredith takes advantage of the distraction to save Martin. Norah stabs the lion with a tranquilizer dart after it knocks the gun from Nate’s hands, causing the lion to retreat. Meredith brings Martin back to the car, and Nate treats his wound. As night falls, a now-recovering Martin speculates that the lion went rogue after poachers killed its pride.
